Her lips twitched when she saw the number of items that piled up like a small mountain on her bed.
He must have plotted his actions that day!
A large number of tonics meant that he had prepared them beforehand.
After that, Shen Yanxiao finally experienced what one would call force-feeding.
She only had to open her mouth as Tang Nazhi fed her. She did not know whether she should laugh or cry at that scene.
However, when evening came, Tang Nazhi could no longer stop Shen Yanxiao’s protest. He had no choice but to let her go to the Warlock Division.
It was already the middle of the night when Shen Yanxiao finally appeared from the Warlock Division’s gates. A slender figure appeared in her line of sight.
Qi Xia leaned lazily against a large tree with his hands crossed. His fox-like eyes half-squinted, and the corner of his lips curled up as he looked at Shen Yanxiao with a smile.
“Why are you here?” Shen Yanxiao blinked and gazed at Qi Xia. The casino that he ran during that period resulted in a large number of cores for her. Even though they were mostly of the lower grades, they had allowed Xiu to recover some of his strength to undo her third seal.
“Tang Nazhi had complained throughout dinner tonight. He was lamenting about a little kid who was not concerned about her health again.” Qi Xia narrowed his eyes as he looked at Shen Yanxiao.
As he stood against the moonlight, the faint light had lengthened his startlingly tall and slender physique.
Qi Xia did not wear his long robes since it was night time. Instead, he wore an azure-colored shirt. Under the moonlight, he looked like a gorgeous prince from the sea.
“And?” Shen Yanxiao rubbed her forehead. Did Qi Xia have the same intention as Tang Nazhi, and that was to force-feed her food?
She had eaten a lot that night, and if she continued to do so, she would definitely have a nosebleed.
“So, I thought of a place.” Qi Xia looked at Shen Yanxiao with an inviting smile. His vague manner made her wonder about the thoughts he had in his mind.
“What place?” Shen Yanxiao quirked an eyebrow.
Qi Xia did not say. He walked toward Shen Yanxiao and then stretched out his slender fingers.
Shen Yanxiao stared at Qi Xia’s hand and then slowly put her small hand on top of his.
Qi Xia smiled and said, “Follow me, and you’ll know.”
Then, he dragged Shen Yanxiao toward the Saint Laurent Academy’s Magus Division.
The usually-bustling Magus Division seemed exceptionally quiet at that moment. The light crystals at the roadside radiated unusually gentle glow that accompanied the moonlight.
Qi Xia brought Shen Yanxiao to the back of the Magus Division’s training ground.
As they walked deeper into the small and peaceful forest, they came to a spring.
The tranquil surface of the spring reflected the moon that hung high above the skies as a faint flower scent pervaded their surroundings.
Traces of mist wafted from the spring water due to its warm temperature.
“Is this a hot spring?” Shen Yanxiao looked at the hot spring before her in surprise. It was a small spring, perhaps only large enough for four to five people at any one time. However, how did a place like this exist in the Saint Laurent Academy? She had never heard anything about it before.
Qi Xia pulled Shen Yanxiao to the edge and brought her hand to soak in the spring.
As her hand touched the water, warmth spread throughout her body, and her tensed nerves relaxed at once.
“This is a Moonlight Spring. The spring water gushed from a thousand meters down below. The priests have blessed the surrounding stone walls, so if one were to soak in it, they would be able to relax. It could also help to recover your strength and relieve your fatigue.” Qi Xia lowered his voice, and his already pleasant voice became much more seductive at that moment.
